FitnessU: High-intensity interval training (HIIT)—A fast way to fit

The days of the hour-long treadmill slog are behind us, friends. You can get all of the benefits of a longer workout in a fraction of the time. It’s not magic; it’s HIIT, a form of interval training combining short spurts of all-out effort with periods of complete rest. You go all in during the activity bursts, which means you tap out (and get fit) in less time than a traditional workout. Ready to give it a go? Our trainer shows you the way.
